Thanks.

Here is the patch with a little comment.

It should not break anything as it just disables a extra
argument "-assert pure-text" to linker.

Linking static libraries into shared one is bad idea, as the
static parts wont be shared between processes, but erroring
out is worse, especially if another compiler for a platform
allows it.

This makes gcc act same way as Sun's cc.
